MSI N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack - LEDs near power connectors

Hello
I've searched this forum and the web, but i didn't found the answer.
I just recently bought this VGA. It works all right, but there's 6 led on the back of the card and two of them are glowing red when power connectors are plugged in.
I just want to know if this is just an indicator that the card is receiving power thru power connectors (when i put them out, they turn off) or if it's indicator that somethings not right (you know, the red color ).
This is my pc:
MB: Asus Sabertooth i55
CPU: Intel i5 760
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB
power supply: Silent Pro Gold 700W
etc
Power usage shouldn't be the problem, got 2 HDD and 1 SSD and 4 fans (i used couple of web power, all of them showed value around 520W).
I've tried connect the card like 3 or 4 times (plugged with 2 separated cables from supply, connected only by "hard installed cable", conect it via one modular cable etc.), the card's 2 LEDs are always on (it's LED1 and LED2).
Thx in advance for any info.
John

You are talking about APS Leds or? See attached image.

Powering a MSI GTX460 Hawk Talon Attack correctly......am I doing it right?

Hey everyone, Merry Christmas!
So I just upgraded from a PNY 9800 GX2 (which gave me nothing but problems with overheating) to MSI's GTX460 Hawk Talon Attack.
I consider myself pretty tech savy but when it comes to wiring and power requirements I don't know what I'm doing. I know, pretty bad. I'm learning as I go though!
Anywho I wanted to make sure I have my card hooked up correctly and safely. I am using this power supply with these power stats:
http://www.ocia.net/fullsize.php?filename=143_8.jpg
The card came with two 2x molex to 6-pin PCI-e adapters. Not having the cords available to connect all four to free molex connections I used a 6-pin PCI-e to 6-pin PCI-e and one 2x molex to 6-pin PCI-e adapters (or converter, whichever they are called). To my understanding when using a 2x molex to 6-pin PCI-e adapter you cannot have them running off say a "Y" splitter for example. So each molex must connect to separate power sources. So..........what I did was I purchased two molex Y splitters (all they had, no female to female molex cables) and pluged each into the PSU and split the 2x molex to PCI-e adapters going to each of them (so they don't share the same cable, thats the important part right?).
Where I'm getting is this the correct way to power the gtx460, or is it better to have just two 6-pin PCI-e to 6-pin PCI-e cables going from the PSU directly to the GPU?
Thanks,
John
My system specs:
Mobo: EVGA nforce 680i SLI
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4ghz Q6600
Memory: 8gb OCZ DDR2
Hard drive: 3x 500gb WD 7200 rpm
PSU: Ultra x3 800w ATX

I gotcha. My situation is I don't have all my gear with me so those cables weren't available on hand when hooking everything up. So I went out and was only able to find in a hurry two Y splitters.
As you explained that is how I have the one 2x molex to pci-e adapter hooked up. Both connected to different cable sets being powered separably.
Just to reiterate, having one "2x molex to pci-e adapter" and one "6 pin pci-e to 6 pin pci-e cable" powering the GPU is ok? It won't cause any issues down the road?
Sorry for my ignorance on this subject, thanks for your patience and help.

MSI N460GTX Hawk (1GB) Overclocking Results

I've had very good results with overclocking my N460GTX Hawk video card.
For the past 6 months I've been documenting my overclocking results and had success with using additional cooling solutions to decrease the PCB and VRM temperatures.

My new N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack card is arriving in a few days and I plan to use my N650SLI-DS4 motherboard with an overclocked SLI setup. I'm curious to see how well SLI performance scales with an "ancient" motherboard.

That's supposed to be that way, you WILL NOT be able to monitor voltage changes with any software tool reading voltages via NVIDIA driver.
Hawk uses additional voltage controller chip which is adding programmable voltage offset to output voltage of reference NVIDIA voltage control circuit.
None of tools you've mentioned support that additional chip and just show you expected target voltage (which doesn't match real value in case of adding an offset via that additional chip).
Furthermore, that additional chip itself also doesn't support voltage readings, it doesn't even know which voltage is on its' input, it is rather simple IC which just trying to modify the input value by specified offset.
That is why there is no (and there will not be in future, I've seen rumors that I'm working on getting voltage monitoring working on Hawks and I say that's not true) voltage monitoring for Hawks when alternate voltage controller circuit is in use.
The best thing that can be done to see some form of expected voltage is approximating the output by displaying summ of NVIDIA reference voltage with additional offset, but that's by far not the best solution because both components (reference circuit and additional offset circuit) add its own inaccuracy.

MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack beeps when is not on load.

Hello!
Yesterday I bought MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack together with FSP Group EVEREST 85PLUS 600W PSU.
I put it all in my old PC, powered on, but then after a while (when started to install latest MSI drivers for HAWK) my VGA started beeping periodically. These are short beeps in not fixed time interval.
The most interesting thing is that when I put my card on load, the beeping stops - it beeps only when I am in windows surfing internet etc.
I have searched through forums and didn't find a clear solution to this problem, but most likely it is a PSU issue.
MSI states, that card requires 24A on 12V for whole system (Core i7 ...).
My PSU is capable of the following:
Output Current:
30.0A @ +3.3V DC
    30.0A @ +5V DC
    18.0A @ +12V1 DC
    18.0A @ +12V2 DC
    18.0A @ +12V3 DC
    18.0A @ +12V4 DC
    .8A @ -12V DC
    3.0A @ +5Vsb DC Standby
Complete configuration of my system is:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (Will change soon)
MB: Asus M2N-E (Will change soon)
RAM: 2 x 2 GB DDR2 800 (Will change soon)
HDD: 2 SATA drives
DVD: 1 PATA drive
VGA: MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack
PSU: FSP Everest 85PLUS 600
Is there a problem with PSU or something else could be wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all !
I also have the annoying beep problem.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a GTX460 Talon Attack and as soon as I entered a game I got beeps coming from the card. Tried a 3DMark and Kombustor, same issue. The PC is build by me, had a JeanTech 700W PSU and a GTX260 which gave me no problems, ever. As soon as I replaced it with the 460, the beeping started.
I returned it to the supplier and i got it back two days ago with the following message:
"Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, "
(Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, Streetfighter Benchmark and heaven benchmark tool, these were all tested at 1920 x 1200 resolution running maximum settings, tested on DX9, DX10 and DX11 where applicable, there was no issues apparent. There was no bleeping coming from the card)
Regards,
Overclockers UK - Support"
So I bought a brand new Antec TruePower 650W as I thought maybe the PSU does not regulate the voltages properly. No luck, I am still getting beeps but it's very weird. In idle (browsing internet, watching a movie or listening to music) the card is completely silent and sits in 25-29 degrees. As soon as I enter World of Warcraft (for example) and the temperature rises, at 35-36 degrees, I get 4-5 beeps then it stays quiet and I can play normally. (1920x1200 highest settings)
When I get out of the game and the temp drops, again around 36-35 degrees I get 1-2 beeps and then it remains silent again. No artefacts, errors or freezes. (so far)
I have seen the round sticker "Warranty void if removed" on the back of the card but I haven't touched it.
I really don't know what to do with it at this point and it's a very annoying problem, I cannot play anything like this.
I don't want to RMA it again since it already cost me £30 (transport & testing) plus a brand new PSU. And I love the card, the construction, the looks and the fact that it runs so cold. I just want a "fix".
Any ideas please ?
My system:
Intel i7 920 2.67GHz
Asus P6T SE X58
Corsair XMS3 3x2Gb DDR3, 1600MHz, 7-7-7-20, 1T
Zalman CNPS10X-Quiet
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty

Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance. I really hope someone has a solution or it's going to be an annoying Christmas. (I'm a technical PC engineer with a fixation for everything to go smooth)

Msi n460gtx hawk voltages???

hello! i need some help with my msi n460gtx hawk. i overclocked this vga and for unknown reasons my voltages to the core/memory/aux stays the same as before at the default clocks(780/1560/1800). now i'm running at 900/1800/2100 mhz,everything stable(msi kombustor burn-in and a lot of games) and those voltage values: +70mv core/+50mv memory/+20mv auxiliar. idle voltage is 0,875v and load is 1,012v same at default clocks and the overclocking. i guess it must show me some increase in voltage,since i pushed forward those values in afterburner,but...everything looks unchanged! i saw others users having some increase in core voltage,when they overclock and tweaking voltages,but is not my case! i don't know what is happening. really,at the voltages i applied it should stay at 0,890-0.900v idle and 1,050v or above in loading... but my hawk looks like i never touched the voltage sliders! i checked those values with gpu-z and aida 64 extreme edition and both show me the same results. i don't have stability issues for the moment,but i guess it will comes some day if my vga don't work with some extra power applied at those frequencys... i have msi afterburner 2.1 installed. i just tried with afterburner 2.0 and the results are the same... i tried 1.6 and i cannot unlock voltage with it... i use an amd phenom II X4 955 clocked at 3,6ghz,mobo gigabyte 890fxa-ud5 and 4 gb ram ddr3 1333mhz dual ch. please someone tell me if is something wrong with my card or i missed something when i overclocked it? thank you very much for your advices!

Msi N460GTX HAWK Fan Failure

I have two N460GTX HAWK's. They're in SLi. One of them has had one of the two fans fail. The fan is seized up. For the last couple weeks I've been hearing what sounded like rattling case metal inside my computer. Since the computer is 5 years old I thought nothing of it. Besides I've had case rattle before and just wedged some cardboard spacers in to stop it. Another thing I noticed was my primary graphics card seems to have been getting hotter than normal. A few times the loud beep these cards make when their temp is approaching the limit has occurred. I now see that one of the fans must have been failing. To compensate for the temperature, I would just manually crank up my system fan and that seemed to work.
I seem to remember on September 16, 2010 when I bought this card that they came with a 3 year warranty. Would this fan issue be covered under that warranty?
Also, I don't see the N460GTX HAWK as being sold by msi (or maybe anyone) anymore. Should this become a RMA issue, would it be possible to get an exact replacement?
Today when I started my computer up, I had no video to my monitor. I switched my monitor cable to my other cards DVI output and the video worked again. My question is, if one of the fans fail on the N460GTX HAWK will the card stop working (to protect itself)? The card with the bad fan couldn't have been hot yet since I had just turned the computer on. Also the video was working just an hour or so before this.

I had not thought about the vrm temperature. I have a Logitech G19 keyboard and I monitor the GPU's temps while I'm playing games so I think it's unlikely that the GPU has been damaged on my card. Considering the vrm has no heat sink some of it may have gotten too hot. I got an RMA number and sent the card to msi. The card is due to arrive at msi on June 4th 2013. Hopefully it's just a quick fan exchange and they send the same one back.
I feel compelled to add that, up to this point, these msi GTX460's have been excellent video cards. The build quality is very high. The heat sinks capability is excellent. My computer is 6 years old and the airflow in my case is typically poor. I often have to run my system fan at 80% to push heat out of the case. These cards however have operated in this environment as though it was native to them. I've estimated close to 2500 hours of continuous use on these cards now. I consider one of the fans dyeing after this long and this much use to be a small incident and in no way detracts from the stellar performance of these msi cards.

mislav.ruzman this is surely not your topic. As you can see it's the topic of someone else seeking for help. Don't hijack that thread with your own issue but open an own (>>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<). Unlike your vga's fans those of topic starter are physically defect.
@Gamtu:
Of course the faulty fan is covered by warranty and is subject of rma. The defective cooling could have caused other defects (e.g. dying vrms because of overheating). Just contact your reseller or MSI and issue rma. MSI has always also older products for replacing defective items in stock even if those aren't sold anymore. If none is in stock you'd get a comparable current product. Usually it's a bit better one.

MSI P55-GD65 Active Phase Switching and power connector

1. The APS LEDs on my board are alway blinking, is this normal or is there something wrong with my PSU?
2. The 8 pin power connector for the CPU: I have a 4 pin cable and and a 8 pin cable. I tried connecting the 8 pin cable and the CPU temp was very high (70-75 Celsius) and my PC shuts down. With the 4 pin cable every thing work fine (apparently). Can someone please explain why is there a 8 pin connector and when I'm supposed to use it? I thank u in advanced and i'm sorry for my bad English.

access to more power
That is actually not correct. The current drawn by the processor will be the same in each case. The only thing that happens if the number of pins are doubled is that each pin has to "carry" only half the current. You thereby minimize the chances of overheating/melting the pins or the connector. In that sense, an 8-Pin +12V connection is "safer" than a 4 Pin connection (especially when overclocking an already power-hungry quad core processor.

Strange! What do your temperatures look like now? Doubling the number of current carrying pins of the +12V Connector should have no effect on the CPU's temperatures. It is hard to find an explanation for that kind of behaviour. We are looking at current distribution here, nothing else.

MSI GTX 460 Hawk Talon Attack - no display, cannot get past POST

Just put this thing together. Windows 7 is not installed and the HDD is not formatted yet, but I cannot even make it to the BIOS. Dell monitor works on laptop and with PS3 with both the VGA and DVI port.
Specs:
MB: Gigabyte GA-X58A-3DR
CPU: i7-960
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Adata
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3
DVD: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
PSU: 900W Continuous Silver
I believe I'm hearing 2-3 beeps on startup, suggesting a no display or video card error. I've tried both PCI-Ex16 slots on the MB with no avail. Two red LEDs on the card itself are on, indicating that it is receiving power. All fans are running, discs will spin in the DVD drive, I'm pretty sure the HDD clicks once or twice on startup. Only thing wrong is that I have no display and I cannot navigate BIOS regardless of whether or not it has successfully loaded.
Tried clearing CMOS with button. Tried both VGA and DVI ports on monitor and card.
Question: Is my card DOA? Or did I miss a step? Or is something else wrong?

I have connected both power cables from the PSU that were labled "PCI-E" to the card. Also, two of the card's LEDs are on after starting up the machine.
I have also recently verified that the memory I have installed is compatible with the motherboard.
It's really frustrating because if I could see the POST error report I might have some idea of what to do

If the card works at the factory clock, (which is Overclocked already) then that is what you can expect, unfortunately. Any clocking beyond that is a bonus. I have a similar issue with a GTX275.
If your supplier/dealer is prepared to exchange the card for you on the basis that it should OC more, then that would be another bonus.Its worth a try, taking all the advertising into consideration.
Have you tried a higher clock with increased voltages as yet?
Thanks for reply, well i didnt tried to unlock the voltage modifier yet since it used to be waranty violation afaik, also theres nothing like "safe chart table" for this process anyway, dont wanna it up completely if you know what i mean. The factory clock is indeed higher then reference model but from what i understood reading the bundled guide its designed to be overclocked beyond the default 811Mhz as it contains some military and whatnot components and voltage control unlike the reference model, so iam kinda disapointed since for same price i could get GTX470 not to mention 9Mhz aint that much considering the posts on towmshardware or guru3D where end users managed to push the clock to 1Ghz with tweaked voltage on this card.

N460GTX Hawk

Hey, all. I want to preface this by saying that I'm very new to overclocking. I just replaced my old system (a P4 with 2gb PC3200 and an HD3850 AGP lol) with an i7 950, 6gb DDR2000, and an MSI n460GTX Hawk.
I chose the Hawk because the reviews all pointed to a great performing card with TONS of headroom for overclocking, providing a lot of bang for my buck. Figured it would be great to have one and get a second in a few months. For now I planned to experiment with tweaking it.
Well, everywhere I look people are saying they got to 950mhz+ on the core, but I understand that that was before MSI limited the VCore to +100mV. A shame they put that limit there, I say. I was hoping to get the most out of this card.
Even then, with the limit, I can't seem to get the card stable! I have tried to go as low as 900mhz with +100mV, well below what the card can handle on the mV (since it can handle all +200mV, really), and well below what it SEEMS the appropriate core frequency should be... but after 5 minutes in Furmark (extreme burn enabled) it's sitting at 71 degrees and the driver resets (screen goes white, furmark stops responding for a while, has to be reset, all the clock speeds, etc, reset...)
I can get it to run in Furmark like that at 225mhz core with +100mV but it will only run for about 2.5-3min before the driver stops responding. Anything above that causes the driver to stop responding exponentially faster.
I have tried this with the VRAM at 1800mhz stock and no added voltage, VRAM at 2000mhz and no added voltage, VRAM at 2000 and +50mV (no benefit so I dropped that back to 0,) and I tried messing with the AUX voltage a bit to no effect what-so-ever as well.
I just can't help but shake the suspicion that I should be able to get more out of this card, that maybe I'm doing something wrong. The temps are usually going anywhere near what I read as the maximum for these cards... I don't know. Just seems that being unstable at 900mhz with +100mV on the core is indicative of user error or sub-par hardware. Not sure which. Figured I would as you all and see if maybe there was some stupid setting somewhere I didn't enable or disable, etc.
Again my last PC was a P4 and nothing special, so I'm new to a lot of this new tech.
Thanks for any help and responses in advance.

Hai Miskat my hawk460 can stable with default volts at 875/2100 and for 900/2200 i have to raise vcore +40mv and vmem +50mv.... but my friend also have hawk460 but he cannot get 900mhz even vcore added to +100mv i guess not every card performs same in overclocking.
This is stressing to check artifact with ATItool for 20minutes at stock volts :
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I can do furmark for 20minutes at 900/2200 with vcore +20mv/+50mv but in gaming always crash and clock back to default because lack of vcore, so i raise until stable in gaming which is +40mv.
But with ATItool 900/2200 with +20mv/+50mv will get error after 2minutes then i must add +40mv just for vcore to make it stable like my SS up there.

N460GTX HAWK - Afterburner only shows +100 even bios is uncapped to 1.212v

i got BetA13 from Guru3D.com's forum to uncap the voltage for my MSI N460GTX Hawk card to 1.212v but MSI Afterburner 2.1.0 Beta 6 can still only show +100 in Core Voltage but Orbmu2k's Nvidia Inspector shows op to 1.212v in the Overclocking fan, so is this bad uncap or Afterburner fail?
i show on Guru3D where i got Beta 6 that the HAWK card used goes over +100 it's at +126 so how do i do this? ^^;

Click on the small arrow on the right side of the where to adjust voltage, it should show a dropdown menu.
that doesn't help increasing the core voltage

Its a very clear beeping
The system doesn't crash just beeps about 30 seconds into games or benchtests but stops after a couple of seconds. Only happens in graphic intensive games like metro 2033 and mafia
I have recorded and uploaded the beeping for you http://www.zshare.net/download/80702890b1e0ff16/
I dont thinks its the PSU. i used Asus PSU calculator and im 200W over for what i need for my system
the hotest the VGA's get is 65-70c and the 2nd VGA is in the last PCI-E slot with a gap of 45mm between the 2.

No idea what those beeps means.
[Which you told that they only occur in SLI mode, when GPU's are underload and its for few seconds then they are gone]
But they are probably not a error indication,[based on what i can hear] sound like they are some kind of informative purpose.
